Saint Mary's beacon. [volume] (Leonard Town, Md.) 1867-1983, 1887-07-07

About the year 1875, a company of
Eastern capitalists conceived the idea
Of building up an inland city upon
the site of the home of Abraham Lin
coin, relying upon the prestige of the
martyred President, and the interest
that would naturally attach to his
former home, to attract a population.
About 400 acres of land was purchas-
ed at $40 per acre, an imaginary city
was laid off, opera houses, colleges,
churches, were shown in the illustra
tions, an artificial lake was construc-
ted, and on its silvery waters were
represented steamboats,, sail boats and
other pleasure crafts, sites for magnif-
icent structures were marked, streets,
squares, parks, fountains and paiatial
public buildings were erected on pa
per, profusely illustrated by litho-
graphic art, and circulars scattered
broadcast over the land inviting peo-
pie to locate in this magnificent in
land paradise, this miniature Eden.
Exorbitant prices were charged for
lots and high fictitious values placed
upon all property there.
Many people were lured to this en-
bryo city, but they did not tarry long,
they folded their tents and, like the
Arab, silently stole away.
The speculation failed, the boom fell
fiat, the cottages were abandoned, the
lots sold for taxes, the miniature lake
degenerated to an insignificant frog
pond, the abode of turtles, snakes aud
tadpoles. 1t now represents the ap.
pearance of deserted village"
The company still owns the princi.
pal part of the original purchase, and
two years ago offered to sell the whole
tract at sis per acre The late pros
pect of getting another railroad has
increased the value Of these lands to
some extent, and in case the proposed
Connection and Tell City branch of the
Airline is built TO this point, Lincoln
City will at once take vigorous sec
ond growth, and would soon become
an important point TO transfer and

devout worshippers as the identical
rails split By the herculean hands Of
old Abe. An enterprising chap who

gard 10 the grave of Lincoln's mother
an uncertainty exists. Mr.. Romine
says that about the year 1880 he ex-
amined the spot where it was said that
Lincolns mother and others were
buried, and no traces of graves could
be seen except slight depressions in
the ground, which was covered with
dense underground of briers and
brush. No one then living in the vi
clnity could distinguish the Lincoln
grave from the others, but by COM
mon consent one was selected as the
grave of Mrs. Lincoln and the under
growth cleared away and stone was
placed at the head Of the grave to
mark the place.
1t is said that another grave be-
side, is that of niece of MIS-. Lin
coin, but ! could find no evidence that
such q person or child was buried
there. The people OF the United
States in general have been led to be-
lieve that a magnificent monument
had been erected at the grave of the
mother of Abraham Lincoln, that the
lone grave Of the mother of our i'm
mortal Lincoln has been rescued from
oblivion by a donation of the prince
ly millionaires, the Studebakers, of
South Bend, Ind. Indeed, expec-
ted TO see in the forest stately mon
ument looming mp in solitary but i'm
posing grandeur. In my surprise /
found instead, an ordinary plain slab,
which in country parlance would be
called "a grave stone" the slab would
in my opinion cost about $50, but it
was enclosed by a pretty iron fence
which gives it creditable appearance.
Upon the slab is the following in

EXPERIMENTAL FARMS.
Agricultural Interests to Be Given
q Genuine Boom.

! Edit0r UorRiRg Neacs: Every one in
/ terested in agriculture must have read
with great satisfaction the welcome in
telligenca from Washington that the SEN
ate passed the bill approDriating to each
State and Territory $4,000 annually for
! the purpose OF establishing experimental
| farms. Much credit is due TO the COM
missioner of Agriculture, Hon. Norman
| j. Coleman, for the conception OF this
plan, and the country at large Will feel
! thankful to Congress for acting upon the
Commissioners suggestion.
! If now, those who snail be selected to
execute the provisions OF the law should,
as l hope, conduct these experimental
farms economically, inteliigently and ex-
cluslvely, for tue purpose they were in
tended, it would REQUIRE but a few years
to convince the most skeptical that the
South possesses undeyeloped resources OF
inconceivabie wealth.
From what know OF the South from per-
sonal observations, l feel sure that the
experimental farms will snow TO the
world that the South possesses such in
exhaustlole and diversified resources as
to finally attract immigration, and induce
ii to take the direction toward this section,
so full or promise for the future, ahordln
In addition to its vast resources a genlal
climate, cheap lands and the proVerb1al
Southern hospitality.
Approaching the importance OF immi-
grafton, and what it has accomplished in
making the West rich, populous and
prosperous, l regret to see the want of
proper efforts on the part of our state
authorities in turning toward the South
at least portion OF that great tide OF i'm
migration which annually reaches our
shores. Ifthe resources of our country,
and the climatic and hygienic conditions
were properly placed before the eyes OF
immigrants, and ii they were invited and
encouraged to come among us in small
colonies and helped TO select homes in the
healthjest ana best sections or the South
ern States, close ito railroads, and where
there is abundance OF water, they would
see quick enough the advantages we have,
and once satisfied they would induce
others to come.
We want them by the hundreds of
thousands to make their homes among us
and help to build up our vast country.
But vast is not expressive enough, as the
following figures attest:

TALLAHASSEE, FLA, Jan 30.-lt seems
that all the circuit Judges in the State
Will have to be resppolnted upon the as
sembllng OF the next Legislature, and the
friends OF new aspirants, as well as the
supporters OF the present Incumbents,
are quite active in the efforts TO have
their choice hOnored with appointments
The Governor has the sole power OF ap-
pointment, except that the Senate must
confirm, which is generally mad as q
matter of course. Toe people reDose per-
feet confidence In Gov. Perry and rest
satisfied that he will make sensible Sc
lections.
There are lawyers in the State who
make more in practice than the salary OF
circuit Judges, but they are entirely
willing to make sacrifices to secure the
places. Nothing is known as TO who will
be the appointees, and Gov. Perry has
time enough to make good selections.

posed should be a guarantee that nothing

people Of the State will be countenanced.

John Lear was struck in the head with a
stone, having his skull fractured, and
was also dealt severe blow on the left
shoulder. The blow on the head rem
dered him senseless. John Ward, one of

clusiyely South Florida products from the
counties OF Orange, Polk, Hillsboro, sum-
ter, Brevard, Volusia, Dade, fernando,
Monroe and Manatee.
All railroads will transport to and from

city by the hotels and boarding houses so
that every one will be able to find accom-
mOdatl0ns without trouble. The grounds
are within five minutes walk from either
depot, Street cars pass by the front en-
trance.
The exposition will be in tents, one for
each county and large one for the gem
eral display. The South Florida railroad
comes manfullY to the front by donating
$1,000 cash to be divided in the various
departments, and transports articles to

some three or four feet to make good
solid driveway, and to make the track just
one mile. There will be two to three
races each day. Horses will be allowed
to enter from any part of the state.

stand as to this winters Florida travel.
Orlando is enjoying the greatest boom 1t
has ever had. From IS to 125 tourists
arrive here each day. a great many Of
these, after seeing the prosperity and
rapid growth OF our city, become invest
ors and permanent residents. There are
more people coming to Orlando and South
Florida this winter than In any previous
year. This cannot be rightfully disputed,

will eventually be the railroad and whole
sale centre of South Florida. There are
several whOlesal houses now that DO a
thriving business, and more in prospect;
also, factories, foundries and machine
shops. Within eighteen months We will
have five railroads.
The census taken last September gave us
6,092 inhabitants. Our population is now
fully 5000. exclusive of visitors. Five
years ago we had no more than 100.
